Do you dream of traveling the world and teaching yoga? Do you want to teach yoga abroad?
Carolyn McPherson has done just that. After completing her YTT in India, she traveled to Nicaragua to teach at an eco resort, and then moved to the Dominican Republic where she taught yoga at multiple studios in both Spanish and English. Now, Carolyn is back in India working for the ashram where she completed her teacher training.
Carolyn’s life is one that many people dream about, and on this episode she shares how she did it, what it’s been like, and so much more.
